Some strategies you can use to read poems are:
Read the title- The poem is probably going to go with the title.
Write down words you don't understand and look them up later- Trust me, it helps!
If you don't understand the poem the first time, read it again. Often I find myself confused about something I read, so I read it again and it usually helps.
In poems I look for words that I know, then make connections with those words.
I also look for rhyming words, I know it sounds silly but it helps me a lot!
Hope this is helpful!
